Application filed June 22, 1914. Serial No. 846,425.

zen of the United IStates, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Cuspidors,of which the following is a description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part ofthis specification.

rll`he invention relates to cuspidors.

rlhe invention relates more particularly to sanitary paper cuspidorshaving a removable cover.

The invention designs to provide a paper cuspidor having means fordetachably securing a cover' therein.

The invention further designs to provide a paper cuspidor having aremovable cover and resilient means for detachably securing the coverentirely within said receptacle.

The invention further designs to provide means for reinforcing the openend of the cuspidor, which means coperates with a suitable frame tosupport the cuspidor.

The invention further designs to provide a new and improved form ofcuspidor.

Y'.lhe invention consists in the several features hereinafter set forthand more particularly deined by claim at the conclusion hereof.

1n the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device embodyingthe invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is asection taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

The device comprises a conical cuspidor or receptacle 10, which ispreferably made of paper, having a removable cover 11 which is adaptedto be held within the cuspidor adjacent the upper edge thereof, meansfor detachably securing said cover to the cuspidor and a supportv 12 forthe cuspidor.

The conical cuspidor or receptacle 10 may be made of nre-proof paper,and is provided with a bulge 13 adjacent the open end thereof, saidbulge having an aperture 14 therein.

A portion of the cuspidor is out away, forming an aperture 15 which isdiametrically opposite to the aperture 14 in the 'The removable cover 11consists of a conical ringwhich may be made of paper or metal, and meansare provided for seating it within the cuspidor adjacent the open endthereof. This means consists of a spring ring 18 having a lug orprojection 17 thereon which is designed to t in the aperture l 14 in thebulge 13, said ring being separated to form ends 18 and 19 which serveas handles for manipulating it. The spring is attached to the cuspidorby pressing the ends 18 and 19 together and inserting the lug 17 in theaperture 14. 0n a release ofthe ends 18 and 19'the outer edge of thespring seats in the bulge 13, and the ends 18 and 19 en` gage the sidesof the aperture 15. The lug 17 and ends 18 and 1.9 are designed to restupon the upper ring 20 of the support 12. The spring 16 thus serves tokeep the upper end of the conical paper cuspidor in open position and toseat it upon the support 12.

The support comprises a plurality of legs 21 having inclined bracemembers 22 which carry a conical member 23 designed to receive the lowerend of the conical cuspidor, the sides of the cuspidor contacting withthe brace members and the ring 2() of the support fitting beneath thebulge 13.

1n assembling the device, the ring 16 is secured in position in themanner previously pointed out, and the cuspidor then positioned in thesupport. Yllie removable cover 11 is then placed in the cuspidor andrests upon the upper surface oi' the ring 16.

The invention thus exempliiies a cuspidor having a removable cover andmeans for detachably securing said cover within the cuspidor, saidcuspidor being disposed within a suitable support.

The invention is not to be restricted to the detail of constructionherein set forth, but may be varied so as to be Within the scope of theappended claims.

What l claim is:

1. A cuspidor comprising a conical paper receptacle having a bulgeadjacent the open i end thereof, and a removable conical paper ringhaving its upper edge portion secured within said receptacle adjacentsaid bulge to form a cover and a means for reinforcing the open end ofsaid receptacle.

2. A cuspidor comprising a paper receptacle, having a bulge adjacent theopen end thereof, a support therefor, and means seated within the bulgeand resting upon the support for reinforcing the open end of saidreceptacle.

3. A cuspidor comprising a receptacle having a bulge adjacent the openend thereof, a removable cover for said receptacle, and means detachablysecured within the bulge to provide a. seat for said cover.

4. A cuspid'or comprising a receptacle having a bulge adjacent the openend thereof, said bulge having an aperture therein, a

removable cover for said receptacle, and aspring ring for detachablysecuring said cover wlthm said receptacle, said ring being detachablysecured with the bulge and hav- 15 Witnesses:
